Default date in Datepicker

Hi,
using this code as Field Default Value

<?php echo date('d-m-Y'); ?>

in a text field I get the correct date: 19-11-2012.
If I use the same code in datepicker, this code does not work and displays: 01-01-2012.
Looking at the html source code value is correct to 19-11-2012.
Any idea?

Hi jack19,

If you add a Custom Code action to the On Load event of your form and put this code in it then it seems to work OK:

<?php
$form->data['start_date'] = date('Y-m-d');
?>

I tested this here. You may need to change the input name and the format string to suit your form.

Hello, I too have tried and does not work. The datapicker remains ... 01/01/2013 How can I do? This is the custom code I used:

<?php
$tempo=time();
$giorno=date('d m Y',$tempo);
echo $giorno;
$form->data['datacircolare'] = $giorno;
?>

Inside On Load I have uploaded the following actions:

Custom Datapicker
Custom Code
show HTML


HELP ME PLEASE.....!

Hi elleoerre,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.
